I just got back from Wilson High School where we had the official launch of the show. It was super exciting to share the event with about 1,400 kids at my alma mater. They had a ton of great questions and the friendly folks at Halogen TV and Comcast even made a donation to the school (in the form of a giant check) so they can buy a brand new projector screen!

I can't believe we're mere hours from the premiere of the show. I'll be chatting online on facebook/twitter/computer land in case you have any questions. And if you don't get Halogen you can watch the live stream at www.halogentv.com/unroadtrip.

I'm still not sure how it all happened, but The Un-Road Trip premieres tomorrow! It seems like just yesterday when I hopped on the motorized cooler and started the trip from my folks' house in SW Portland. Turns out it was actually two years ago and in the meantime we've cranked out 10 action-packed episodes chronicling my journey. Here's a new clip package the folks at Halogen put together in honor of the launch:

Recognize that song? It's by my pals, Rabbit! They were nice enough to let me use it on the show.

And we're celebrating this launch in style - we even launched a sweepstakes to win a pair of Keen shoes and a sweet Columbia Sportswear jacket! You can head over to Halogen's Un-Road Trip site to check that out. So go visit the site, watch the show, and tell your friends. Cause that's the only way I'll get to do a second season.

The show's just a few days away from premiering and they're starting to release some sweet videos on the Un-Road Trip website over at HalogenTV.com. Here's a fun one we filmed when we were shooting all the introductory bits for the show:

The Un-Road Trip premieres a week from tomorrow and Halogen just put out this Earth Day promo with some clips from the show.

Although the show officially premieres next week, the first episode is actually already up on Comcast On Demand. It's in the Top Picks section, under Our Planet: Earth. So go watch the show and let me know what you think! Then start a petition for a second season!
